What do you think? The Viscountess Edengle-Heimlich
Fenrir-Laguna said.
His messenger - a black wolf about twice as long as an adult - howled as if he wanted answers.
To his employer, Edengle-Heimlich, cowering in front of the Adventurer's Guild.
'I'm asking you what you're going to do. 'My employer.'
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask the baroness to come to the guard station.
A guard with a shield and a spear stepped forward in front of Fenrir-Laguna.
'I must now talk to you about the series of events. I will handle it respectfully and you need not worry.
Get out of my way.
miscellaneousellaneous collection of books
With Fenrir-Laguna's voice, the wolf swung its paws.
Its claws split the guard's shield in half.
The guard's body was blown off by the impact. He hit the wall of the Adventurer's Guild and crumbled down.
'I'm talking to my employer. What do you think, Edengle-Heimlich?
"...... and pretend it never happened.
Edengle-Heimlich said as he huddled.
'I don't want to be here. I just want to get out of my way and leave.'
Yes, sir.
The black wolf that Fenrir-Laguna straddled barked.
'Are you insane, Lady Edengle!
The rest of the guards hold their spears.
''The townspeople are watching, too. If you do this, it will hurt the name of the Viscount's family!''
Edengle-Heimlich did not answer.
Instead, it was the black wolf messenger who moved.
With its claws, fangs, and limbs, it mowed down the guards.
''Stop! Fenrir-Laguna!
The leader of the 'Hounds of Dawn', a woman, shouted.
''What's the point of doing this! Lady Edengle has already made a 'pact' with the adventurers! He accepted responsibility and promised to pay for it!
What happens when that person disappears?
Fenrir-Laguna sniffed, huffing and puffing.
'...... what?'
'What happens when there are no more adventurers? What if the town is destroyed? The 'contract' means nothing to you!
"You are ...... what are you talking about?
The leader of the 'Hound of Dawn' drew his sword.
A short sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left.
With the two weapons in hand, he stood in front of the guards.
''Whose fault is it that this happened in the first place! You were the one who suggested we wait at the inn. And he instructed me to seal the entrance to the saint's labyrinth with magic! And the one who slit the back of the wizard who hated it! And that's what it comes down to!
'This is in keeping with our goal of monopolizing the treasure and heritage. If the town collapses, there will be no one left to go after the saint's legacy or to search for the dragon's relics. So we'd lose our base of operations for the search.
At Fenrir-Laguna's words, everything in the place was speechless.
'Then the only people who will be able to venture in this land will be those noblemen who can adequately prepare food and equipment. There will be no more hindrance to adventurers. There may still be an ancient legacy lying in this land. If the nobles can monopolize it, shouldn't they turn a blind eye to a little damage?
Stupid things!
The leader of The Hound of the Dawn slashes at Fenrir-Laguna.
The leader's short sword is caught by the wolf's claws. She lets go of the sword and slashes at the wolf with her dagger──.
Don't make me use my extra magic.
warrior
The leader of the Hounds of Dawn collapsed as a blue wolf suddenly appeared and slashed his back.
''Don't summon two of them. This is not good for you!
...... to ...... allies to ...... so far to ......?
I'm sorry. You and I live in a different world. Besides, when this job is done, I'm going to take a slave. Not a man, not a demi-human, as a sign of bravery. Well, when I tell you, you won't understand.
Fenrir-Laguna looked at Edengle, who was cowering.
'So what do we do now? 'The Viscountess.'
"...... get those guys. Or do you want me to turn them off?
'Is this a saint or a substitute for a celestial dragon?'
Both. Ever since they came out, everything's been wrong.
The saint said, 'Keep the west wall open.' If that's the case, maybe she's headed that way. For the protection of the city.
Fenrir-Laguna cleared his throat, clucking happily.
'Turn those guys off! Eliminate my failure itself! I'll give you everything I inherit from the Viscountess!
Edengle shuddered and shouted.
'This isn't right. I've been educated to be worthy of a prince, to be chosen, to be a candidate, and here I am! I just want to get rid of anyone who gets in my way and start over! So!
All right. Your daughter, the Viscountess.
Fenrir-Laguna turned to the remaining 'Hound of Dawn' adventurers.
''You're going to help me, 'The Hound of Dawn'.
GUAAAAAAAA!
The wolves howled in response to Fenrir-Laguna's voice.
''Neither the Saintess nor the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon' wants to go out in the open. That means they should avoid the main street. So, beat those who are advancing down the alleyway from the outset! I'll get the axe in the end.
Fenrir-Laguna looked at the adventurers of The Hound of Dawn with oddly gentle eyes.
That's why Viscount Edengle said he's willing to put you in the regular army.
...... Exactly, but...
Edengle nodded at Fenrir-Laguna's words.
'You are all I have left. You can't work in this town either. You will always be with me. We have no choice but to trust each other.
The 'Hounds of Dawn' start to move.
They ran towards the western ramparts with a sideways glance at their cowering leader.
''What the hell are you, ......? I don't know, it's .......
"I shall follow the path of the brave. Viscountess.
Fenrir-Laguna patted the two wolves with a curiously gentle face.
He said, "─ ─ Among those who are called from ─ ─, those who are more selective will be able to walk this path. I'm sure you'll find a glory that you'll envy. That's the Path of the Brave. That's all there is to it.
''You are the 'agents of the Heavenly Dragon'?!''
...... You've really been chasing me: ......
Seriously. I don't have time for this.
The three adventurers standing in front of us are... The Hounds of the Dawn.
The wizard was swallowed by Hydra, and the restorer was defeated in the Saint's Labyrinth and has yet to recover. So only the three vanguard members are left. Come to think of it, though, we don't have a leader woman.
''I left the west side of the city walls open for you guys.
I pulled my hood down and said, "I think your best option is to fight off the Hydra there.
"I think fighting off the Hydra there is the best option for you guys, don't you? Am I right?
The 'Hounds of the Dawn' all raised their weapons at once. It doesn't look good.
This is a narrow road that leads to the city wall. It's raining and the ground is muddy, so it's hard to move. Is it impossible to escape?
An old house is around. No one lives here.
It's just me and Cecil.
Cecil is holding my hand, hiding his face with his hood, and he's holding my hand.
I let Iris and Rafilia go first. Rita and Aine have gone their separate ways.
I'd like to avoid the battle if possible. There's no point. And I don't want to use Cecil's magical powers either.
You're the best party in town, what are you doing ...... at a time like this?
I said.
"to cover our mistakes.
The answer comes back from the 'Hound of Dawn' as if it were obvious.
''No, the town is in trouble right now. If the town itself disappears, the title of 'the best party in town' won't mean anything!
"We don't need to know that! We have no choice but to follow Lady Edengle now!
There was no question.
The Hounds of the Dawn are running.
They look straight at us.
They don't even notice that the wall of the house beside them is collapsing and the puddles underneath their feet are spreading to the hole in the wall.
It's the hole I had just broken with Building Strike Lv 1. My friends are hiding behind it.
Their feet stepped on the muddy ground.
Then I shouted, "My slave.
"I command you, my slave. "and bring to justice any adventurer who will not listen to me!
"Yes, my master. Activate 'sewage increase level 1'!
I remember Rita once saying to me, "I don't think I can beat Aine on a rainy day.
The fantasy world has poor surface drainage. On a rainy day, there are puddles all over the place.
All of those places are boundaries for Aine.
'Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The 'Hounds of Dawn', whose bodies have been drained of water, are rolling around on the ground.
I thought they would attack us anyway, so I broke through some of the walls of the abandoned house.
The one closest to the ground. So that the puddles could get inside. And Aine was waiting inside the abandoned house.
So I was able to use Sewage Increase Lv 1 through the wall.
As long as the puddles were connected, this skill would work well enough.
'...... hii ...... haha ...... uuah!'
And then, with a crunch, the adventurers of The Hound of Dawn fell on the puddle of water.
The Hounds of the Dawn have destroyed the party! I'm alive.
I didn't think the adventurers would come first.
Aine said, stunting the enemy party with a 'memory wipe'.
'It's a common pattern to see what's going on with a mid-level character, and then the Rathboss comes in to mess with you.
You read it perfectly, Nagi: ......
'It's natural. Besides, since Cecil-chan was with me, Aine felt safe to separate.
Cecil and Aine held each other's hands peacefully.
I expected the pursuers to come. It would be troublesome if they messed with you after you got to the castle walls, so we decided to intercept them first.
It seems to have worked.
According to the message from Rita, the "visitor" was heading towards the guild.
So they picked up an adventurer from The Hound of Dawn there and gave him a head start.
I'm used to using ...... people. They could be a pain in the ass.
Me, Cecil and Aine went ahead.
I'm not going to be the only one who has a problem with it.
The cheat character controlling the wolf-shaped messenger is heading our way. Did you notice the sounds of battle?
I'm going to have to go. Cecil, Aine.
We start running.
After a while, we come to an open area.
'Brother!' Master, over here!
Iris and Raphilia were waiting for me. The saint's golem is also with them.
It's only a short distance from here to the city walls.
The 'visitors' will be met here.
''Nagi-sama! There's a reaction to "magical knowledge". The messenger is coming!''
The moment Cecil cried out──a beast appeared from the darkness.
There were two of them.
A red and a blue wolf. The size is about the size of an adult male.
'GURUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU──!
The two cows growled and stared at us.
"...... A messenger of a guy named Fenrir. He's the one who chews and the one who tears.
Mr. Delilira (Golem) said. 'I see.
''It's like one of the jaws gets huge and eats everything and the other one tears apart everything with its claws.
'So why are you taking a line from Delilira!
And then the last one appears. It is an extraordinarily large - a black wolf.
On its back, a black-haired boy was riding.
It's the one that was with the nobleman during the parade. This is "Fenrir-Laguna"?
"Are you a messenger of the saints? Or is it 'The Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon'?
Come on, I think you've got the wrong guy.
I said.
"So, you're the baroness's lackey.
I'll let you choose.
The boy on the black wolf said.
'Either you'll be killed by me here and brought to the 'White Guild' as material, or you'll surrender fully here, and after you've told me everything, you'll 'sign a contract' to be under my command.
...... er.
I think he's trying to concede, but I'm not.
'But first, could you take down Hydra? The "wolfman
I'm sorry. I don't do that kind of work.
...... You're a big deal.
'Yeah, I'm on the 'path of the brave'. You can't even imagine what the future holds for you.
"The equivalent of a nobleman, whose name will live in legend?
............ Yeah.
''Plus, if you get the saint's inheritance and capture the Heavenly Dragon's representative, you'll get a bonus, maybe a legendary weapon or magic?''
............ Well, well. It's the slaves that get it, though.
Oh, yeah, that's great.
I said as I shielded Aine and the others behind me.
'You mean there's a guild for brave people like that? I'm sure there's more than a human being acting as a guild master.''
What do you know about ......?
'Why shouldn't I know? If this one really is the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon'.
That's a lie.
I'm just piecing together what I've learned so far and throwing in a few random bites.
"I know there is a guild that pretends to support the nobility, but they have other goals. They want to erase the existence of the 'old blood' from history. Perhaps as a replacement for it...
Maybe they are trying to use the brave men they summoned from another world.
As a tool to strengthen the control of the king and nobles.
''──I don't like the way he's doing it. Or rather, I want it to be done somewhere far away from here.
I don't give a shit what you think. I don't give a shit what you think.
Fenrir-Laguna's lips twitched and he laughed.
'And you're wrong about one thing. It's only temporary when a nobleman is on top.'
Eventually?
You know. The Way of the Brave is only visible to those who walk it.
...... is awesome.
It takes some sacrifice to do so: ......
...... That's a lot of work.
We, the 'White Guild,' can be found at .......
...... I'll be in touch.
You! You're mocking me, aren't you?
'No, if you're going to call it "The Way of the Brave", I wanted you to beat Hydra.
Hmm. I'm not in the same world as you guys.
...... I see.
This guy is, in other words, working to make him an assistant to the nobility and to destroy and recover the legacy of the 'old blood'. What does it matter what else is going on? Even if the town is destroyed and people are eaten by Hydra.
''You're the one who's bothering us, why?''
Fenrir-Laguna said.
''Since it's called the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon,' I thought you were more of a divine being. But, you know, I think you're just a human being. You're just wandering around in the dark, hiding your face with a hood. Why is it that you're imitating this?
............
Once again, I am troubled by these remarks.
The only reason we're disturbing the nobility is because...
I don't like it. And because it's raining.
Huh?
Huh? I think it's important.
'If Hydra breaks down the walls, we'll have to run away in the rain, won't we? It's cold and the carriage is hard to get going ...... and I'd love to see everyone's clothes show through it, but it would be stupid to bother with the cold. So I needed to let the adventurers and the townspeople know about the hydra. We needed to tell them what it was all about and bring everyone together.
I said.
"That's all you can think of. I'm not really interested in the world or heroes or anything like that.
Another thing is that the saintly woman felt responsible.
She probably knows that Cecile is a demon, so she didn't tell us. She also gave me her wand to help me pay back my demonic heritage. I'd like to repay the debt.
"............ All right. You're dead.
"Is that the conclusion of a 'brave man's path'?
I wielded the magic sword.
I can't reach it. Of course it's natural. You have to be as fancy as possible.
Sprinkle water, make noise, hide the work we're doing behind...
'It's useless! Go! 'Things to chew up' and 'things to tear apart'!
"GUAAAAAAAAAAA!
The two wolves screamed.
The red wolf rushes forward with its jaws and the black wolf with its claws growing huge.
I recheck the plan behind me.
Everyone is gathered around Raphilia. They're all in line and giving a thumbs up.
They look ready.
"GUAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The wolves come closer, kicking the water. Fenrir-Laguna is laughing.
Then this one is timed to coincide with the timing, seh.
「「「「 "Activate "Anti-Magic Warding (Taima Kekkai) Lv 1" 」」」」
We got down on the ground in unison (・・・・・・).
And then...
I'm sorry!
A magical barrier wrapped around us and bounced off the wolves' rush.
'──── What's that?'
Yeah. I suppose it's no wonder the enemy is so surprised.
That's the magic circle they put under our feet, it's glowing. That's where the barrier comes from.
Specifically, it's me, Cecil, Aine, Iris, and Rafilia lying face down on a sheet with a magic circle on it. The barrier is a collection of five people's magical power.
We knew the enemy was a wolf user, so we prepared it at home beforehand.
I drew a magic circle on the sheets and put it in Aine's storage skills.
This time, I 'fast rebuilt' three skills to kill Hydra and counter visitors.
'Truth Confession LV1'
A magician's spell to block out the lies.
"Creeping Defense, Lv 1
The skill of getting down on the ground and defending yourself.
Summoning Demons, Lv 5
The skill of "calling" the "associated demon" with "body parts
This Anti-Demon Conjunction LV1 is a rewrite of Rock Lizard's Creeping Defense, with a twist.
Fiendish Containment Lv 1 (4 Concept Cheat Skills)
The skill to "lie face down" in the magic circle and "protect" yourself from "associated demons".
This skill creates a barrier by 'laying down' on a magic circle with the demon's form written on it.
The monsters (or symbols) written on the magic circle cannot break through the barrier.
By the way, what is written on the magic circle is a 'Beware of the rabid dog' like symbol. I coached it and Rafilia wrote it. It's quite a masterpiece.
I'll be d*mned! Gua! GUAAAA!!!!
The area around the table. Member of the committee. Gentlemen!
The wolf-shaped messenger is attacking repeatedly.
But it doesn't get through.
This is a 4 concept cheat skill.
In addition, it's a target-only pinpoint skill, so it's terrifyingly hard.
'What's the matter? The Way of the Brave.
...... goo.
Fenrir-Laguna looked at us in frustration.
'This, this can't be! I'm a brave man and this is what I am!
I suggest you give up and go kill Hydra. I don't want to waste my time here.
Shut up! Wolves, you can have all my magic! Break that d*mn barrier!
''GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA!''
A red, a blue and a black wolf howled.
Three of them came straight to the barrier.
The translucent barrier creaked and shook.
I'm sure you'll be able to find it. It's amazing.
You! You know how...?
Yeah. I think we know what we need to know.
This guy is backed by the White Guild. They want to collect the heritage of the Old Blood or destroy it. In order to do so, they don't hesitate to destroy towns and villages.
The reward for this is "The Way of the Brave" - something for the brave to become like a nobleman, it seems.
Thank you for teaching me so much. Then release "Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) Lv 1".
share
The gigantic Magic Sword Reggie penetrated the barrier from within.
''GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!''
The black blade of the demon sword summed up the three wolves and split them into two.
The wolves that were cut off from their bodies evaporated and disappeared.
'Wha, what the hell is that?
Fenrir-Laguna exclaimed.
'...... I can see why your enemies are so angry, boy. It's a cheating machine. ......'
...... I'm not so sure.
I've made a good case to the saint, haven't I?
He said this is a skill that only prevents (・・・・・・) attacks from the demons (・・・・・・) written on the magic circle.
The attacks of other demons can pass normally, so of course they can pass from the inside as well.
This isn't the end of the story .......
Fenrir-Laguna barked.
'...... eh. You still do ......?
'I can make a few more of them! Come on, wolves!
Smaller wolves appear around him than before.
How about it? This is the power of one who follows the path of the brave.
It's light in color and not very strong to look at.
Shut up. I'm going to kill you and take your power. I'm still here for the same reasons. Let's go!
The wolves begin to move at the sound of Fenrir-Laguna's voice.
They're moving slow and their outlines are wobbly.
He himself is wobbling, too. So I don't notice.
The wolf pack that I summoned, and before I knew it...
There's a beautiful golden one mixed in.
''Guh-u-u-u-u-u-u!
The golden wolf shouted.
I kind of know what you mean. I guess I've lost my patience.
'Okay. Come on, Rita!
────?
bang
The golden wolf──Fenrir-Laguna, who was hit by Rita's rush that had been 'fully beastified', was blown away.
As it was, it slammed into the wall of the house and became motionless.
Fenrir-Laguna was knocked down!
Good job, Rita.
"...... wow
In her wolf form, Rita rubs the tip of her nose against me.
I had Rita 'fully beastified' and sent her out to scout. While in her wolf form, Rita's senses become sharper and her movement speed increases significantly. Thanks to this, I was able to completely grasp the enemy's movements.
''............ Hmph. Wow. Kuhn.''
Rita's beast ears are down, and her tail is standing up, twitching, embarrassed.
I'm patting my back like normal, but Rita isn't wearing anything right now. ......
'I'd like to do this some more, but I don't have time.
I would have liked to interrogate Fenrir-Laguna if I could.
But soon, Hydra will be here.
I have an idea on how to deal with that one.
I talked with Cecil and got assurances from the saintly lady that it would work.
At the very least, we should be able to get rid of them.
Cecil, Iris, Rafilia and Her Ladyship will go with me to fight off Hydra. Aine, erase this guy's memory ...... and get Rita's clothes out. Rita, I want you to guard Aine.
「「「「「 "Li Ka'i!" 」」」」」
This is the final stage of the mission.
We're going to run for the west wall.
Cecil will be the main villain in the fight against Hydra. How much magic do you have left?
I'll take care of it, Lady Nagi.
Cecil took his silver staff, the Sacred Staff Neuerut...
To be precise, he grabbed the 'Reconstructed' - 'True Holy Staff Noel Root'.
'I want to be able to protect Nagi-sama from any opponent. Hydra is just the right person to practice with. I will show you the power of Nagi-sama's slave, the 'Sea Dragon Hero' and 'Celestial Dragon's Representative', right here!
It's all stealthy.
'Yes! It is only Nagi who can show you everything about me!
And so we headed to exterminate Hydra.
It was only a matter of time before we experimented with the "True Holy Wand Noel Root" that we had rebuilt.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
What do you think? The Viscountess Edengle-Heimlich
Fenrir-Laguna said.
His messenger - a black wolf about twice as long as an adult - howled as if he wanted answers.
To his employer, Edengle-Heimlich, cowering in front of the Adventurer's Guild.
'I'm asking you what you're going to do. 'My employer.'
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask the baroness to come to the guard station.
A guard with a shield and a spear stepped forward in front of Fenrir-Laguna.
'I must now talk to you about the series of events. I will handle it respectfully and you need not worry.
Get out of my way.

What happens when that person disappears?
Fenrir-Laguna sniffed, huffing and puffing.
'...... what?'
'What happens when there are no more adventurers? What if the town is destroyed? The 'contract' means nothing to you!
"You are ...... what are you talking about?
The leader of the 'Hound of Dawn' drew his sword.
A short sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left.
With the two weapons in hand, he stood in front of the guards.
''Whose fault is it that this happened in the first place! You were the one who suggested we wait at the inn. And he instructed me to seal the entrance to the saint's labyrinth with magic! And the one who slit the back of the wizard who hated it! And that's what it comes down to!
'This is in keeping with our goal of monopolizing the treasure and heritage. If the town collapses, there will be no one left to go after the saint's legacy or to search for the dragon's relics. So we'd lose our base of operations for the search.
At Fenrir-Laguna's words, everything in the place was speechless.
'Then the only people who will be able to venture in this land will be those noblemen who can adequately prepare food and equipment. There will be no more hindrance to adventurers. There may still be an ancient legacy lying in this land. If the nobles can monopolize it, shouldn't they turn a blind eye to a little damage?
Stupid things!
The leader of The Hound of the Dawn slashes at Fenrir-Laguna.
The leader's short sword is caught by the wolf's claws. She lets go of the sword and slashes at the wolf with her dagger──.

Fenrir-Laguna turned to the remaining 'Hound of Dawn' adventurers.
''You're going to help me, 'The Hound of Dawn'.

The 'Hounds of the Dawn' all raised their weapons at once. It doesn't look good.
This is a narrow road that leads to the city wall. It's raining and the ground is muddy, so it's hard to move. Is it impossible to escape?
An old house is around. No one lives here.
It's just me and Cecil.
Cecil is holding my hand, hiding his face with his hood, and he's holding my hand.
I let Iris and Rafilia go first. Rita and Aine have gone their separate ways.
I'd like to avoid the battle if possible. There's no point. And I don't want to use Cecil's magical powers either.
You're the best party in town, what are you doing ...... at a time like this?
I said.
"to cover our mistakes.
The answer comes back from the 'Hound of Dawn' as if it were obvious.
''No, the town is in trouble right now. If the town itself disappears, the title of 'the best party in town' won't mean anything!
"We don't need to know that! We have no choice but to follow Lady Edengle now!
There was no question.
The Hounds of the Dawn are running.
They look straight at us.
They don't even notice that the wall of the house beside them is collapsing and the puddles underneath their feet are spreading to the hole in the wall.
It's the hole I had just broken with Building Strike Lv 1. My friends are hiding behind it.
Their feet stepped on the muddy ground.
Then I shouted, "My slave.
"I command you, my slave. "and bring to justice any adventurer who will not listen to me!
"Yes, my master. Activate 'sewage increase level 1'!
I remember Rita once saying to me, "I don't think I can beat Aine on a rainy day.
The fantasy world has poor surface drainage. On a rainy day, there are puddles all over the place.
All of those places are boundaries for Aine.
'Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The 'Hounds of Dawn', whose bodies have been drained of water, are rolling around on the ground.
I thought they would attack us anyway, so I broke through some of the walls of the abandoned house.
The one closest to the ground. So that the puddles could get inside. And Aine was waiting inside the abandoned house.
So I was able to use Sewage Increase Lv 1 through the wall.
As long as the puddles were connected, this skill would work well enough.
'...... hii ...... haha ...... uuah!'
And then, with a crunch, the adventurers of The Hound of Dawn fell on the puddle of water.
The Hounds of the Dawn have destroyed the party! I'm alive.
I didn't think the adventurers would come first.
Aine said, stunting the enemy party with a 'memory wipe'.
'It's a common pattern to see what's going on with a mid-level character, and then the Rathboss comes in to mess with you.
You read it perfectly, Nagi: ......
'It's natural. Besides, since Cecil-chan was with me, Aine felt safe to separate.
Cecil and Aine held each other's hands peacefully.
I expected the pursuers to come. It would be troublesome if they messed with you after you got to the castle walls, so we decided to intercept them first.
It seems to have worked.
According to the message from Rita, the "visitor" was heading towards the guild.
So they picked up an adventurer from The Hound of Dawn there and gave him a head start.
I'm used to using ...... people. They could be a pain in the ass.
Me, Cecil and Aine went ahead.
I'm not going to be the only one who has a problem with it.
The cheat character controlling the wolf-shaped messenger is heading our way. Did you notice the sounds of battle?
I'm going to have to go. Cecil, Aine.
We start running.
After a while, we come to an open area.
'Brother!' Master, over here!
Iris and Raphilia were waiting for me. The saint's golem is also with them.
It's only a short distance from here to the city walls.
The 'visitors' will be met here.
''Nagi-sama! There's a reaction to "magical knowledge". The messenger is coming!''
The moment Cecil cried out──a beast appeared from the darkness.
There were two of them.
A red and a blue wolf. The size is about the size of an adult male.
'GURUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU──!
The two cows growled and stared at us.
"...... A messenger of a guy named Fenrir. He's the one who chews and the one who tears.
Mr. Delilira (Golem) said. 'I see.
''It's like one of the jaws gets huge and eats everything and the other one tears apart everything with its claws.
'So why are you taking a line from Delilira!
And then the last one appears. It is an extraordinarily large - a black wolf.
On its back, a black-haired boy was riding.
It's the one that was with the nobleman during the parade. This is "Fenrir-Laguna"?
"Are you a messenger of the saints? Or is it 'The Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon'?
Come on, I think you've got the wrong guy.
I said.
"So, you're the baroness's lackey.
I'll let you choose.
The boy on the black wolf said.
'Either you'll be killed by me here and brought to the 'White Guild' as material, or you'll surrender fully here, and after you've told me everything, you'll 'sign a contract' to be under my command.
...... er.
I think he's trying to concede, but I'm not.
'But first, could you take down Hydra? The "wolfman
I'm sorry. I don't do that kind of work.
...... You're a big deal.
'Yeah, I'm on the 'path of the brave'. You can't even imagine what the future holds for you.
"The equivalent of a nobleman, whose name will live in legend?
............ Yeah.
''Plus, if you get the saint's inheritance and capture the Heavenly Dragon's representative, you'll get a bonus, maybe a legendary weapon or magic?''
............ Well, well. It's the slaves that get it, though.
Oh, yeah, that's great.
I said as I shielded Aine and the others behind me.
'You mean there's a guild for brave people like that? I'm sure there's more than a human being acting as a guild master.''
What do you know about ......?
'Why shouldn't I know? If this one really is the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon'.
That's a lie.
I'm just piecing together what I've learned so far and throwing in a few random bites.
"I know there is a guild that pretends to support the nobility, but they have other goals. They want to erase the existence of the 'old blood' from history. Perhaps as a replacement for it...
Maybe they are trying to use the brave men they summoned from another world.
As a tool to strengthen the control of the king and nobles.
''──I don't like the way he's doing it. Or rather, I want it to be done somewhere far away from here.
I don't give a shit what you think. I don't give a shit what you think.
Fenrir-Laguna's lips twitched and he laughed.
'And you're wrong about one thing. It's only temporary when a nobleman is on top.'
Eventually?
You know. The Way of the Brave is only visible to those who walk it.
...... is awesome.
It takes some sacrifice to do so: ......
...... That's a lot of work.
We, the 'White Guild,' can be found at .......
...... I'll be in touch.
You! You're mocking me, aren't you?
'No, if you're going to call it "The Way of the Brave", I wanted you to beat Hydra.
Hmm. I'm not in the same world as you guys.
...... I see.
This guy is, in other words, working to make him an assistant to the nobility and to destroy and recover the legacy of the 'old blood'. What does it matter what else is going on? Even if the town is destroyed and people are eaten by Hydra.
''You're the one who's bothering us, why?''
Fenrir-Laguna said.
''Since it's called the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon,' I thought you were more of a divine being. But, you know, I think you're just a human being. You're just wandering around in the dark, hiding your face with a hood. Why is it that you're imitating this?
............
Once again, I am troubled by these remarks.
The only reason we're disturbing the nobility is because...
I don't like it. And because it's raining.
Huh?
Huh? I think it's important.
'If Hydra breaks down the walls, we'll have to run away in the rain, won't we? It's cold and the carriage is hard to get going ...... and I'd love to see everyone's clothes show through it, but it would be stupid to bother with the cold. So I needed to let the adventurers and the townspeople know about the hydra. We needed to tell them what it was all about and bring everyone together.
I said.
"That's all you can think of. I'm not really interested in the world or heroes or anything like that.
Another thing is that the saintly woman felt responsible.
She probably knows that Cecile is a demon, so she didn't tell us. She also gave me her wand to help me pay back my demonic heritage. I'd like to repay the debt.
"............ All right. You're dead.
"Is that the conclusion of a 'brave man's path'?
I wielded the magic sword.
I can't reach it. Of course it's natural. You have to be as fancy as possible.
Sprinkle water, make noise, hide the work we're doing behind...
'It's useless! Go! 'Things to chew up' and 'things to tear apart'!
"GUAAAAAAAAAAA!
The two wolves screamed.
The red wolf rushes forward with its jaws and the black wolf with its claws growing huge.
I recheck the plan behind me.
Everyone is gathered around Raphilia. They're all in line and giving a thumbs up.
They look ready.
"GUAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The wolves come closer, kicking the water. Fenrir-Laguna is laughing.
Then this one is timed to coincide with the timing, seh.
「「「「 "Activate "Anti-Magic Warding (Taima Kekkai) Lv 1" 」」」」
We got down on the ground in unison (・・・・・・).
And then...
I'm sorry!
A magical barrier wrapped around us and bounced off the wolves' rush.
'──── What's that?'
Yeah. I suppose it's no wonder the enemy is so surprised.
That's the magic circle they put under our feet, it's glowing. That's where the barrier comes from.
Specifically, it's me, Cecil, Aine, Iris, and Rafilia lying face down on a sheet with a magic circle on it. The barrier is a collection of five people's magical power.
We knew the enemy was a wolf user, so we prepared it at home beforehand.
I drew a magic circle on the sheets and put it in Aine's storage skills.
This time, I 'fast rebuilt' three skills to kill Hydra and counter visitors.
'Truth Confession LV1'
A magician's spell to block out the lies.
"Creeping Defense, Lv 1
The skill of getting down on the ground and defending yourself.
Summoning Demons, Lv 5
The skill of "calling" the "associated demon" with "body parts
This Anti-Demon Conjunction LV1 is a rewrite of Rock Lizard's Creeping Defense, with a twist.
Fiendish Containment Lv 1 (4 Concept Cheat Skills)
The skill to "lie face down" in the magic circle and "protect" yourself from "associated demons".
This skill creates a barrier by 'laying down' on a magic circle with the demon's form written on it.
The monsters (or symbols) written on the magic circle cannot break through the barrier.
By the way, what is written on the magic circle is a 'Beware of the rabid dog' like symbol. I coached it and Rafilia wrote it. It's quite a masterpiece.
I'll be d*mned! Gua! GUAAAA!!!!
The area around the table. Member of the committee. Gentlemen!
The wolf-shaped messenger is attacking repeatedly.
But it doesn't get through.
This is a 4 concept cheat skill.
In addition, it's a target-only pinpoint skill, so it's terrifyingly hard.
'What's the matter? The Way of the Brave.
...... goo.
Fenrir-Laguna looked at us in frustration.
'This, this can't be! I'm a brave man and this is what I am!
I suggest you give up and go kill Hydra. I don't want to waste my time here.
Shut up! Wolves, you can have all my magic! Break that d*mn barrier!
''GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA!''
A red, a blue and a black wolf howled.
Three of them came straight to the barrier.
The translucent barrier creaked and shook.
I'm sure you'll be able to find it. It's amazing.
You! You know how...?
Yeah. I think we know what we need to know.
This guy is backed by the White Guild. They want to collect the heritage of the Old Blood or destroy it. In order to do so, they don't hesitate to destroy towns and villages.
The reward for this is "The Way of the Brave" - something for the brave to become like a nobleman, it seems.
Thank you for teaching me so much. Then release "Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) Lv 1".
share
The gigantic Magic Sword Reggie penetrated the barrier from within.
''GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!''
The black blade of the demon sword summed up the three wolves and split them into two.
The wolves that were cut off from their bodies evaporated and disappeared.
'Wha, what the hell is that?
Fenrir-Laguna exclaimed.
'...... I can see why your enemies are so angry, boy. It's a cheating machine. ......'
...... I'm not so sure.
I've made a good case to the saint, haven't I?
He said this is a skill that only prevents (・・・・・・) attacks from the demons (・・・・・・) written on the magic circle.
The attacks of other demons can pass normally, so of course they can pass from the inside as well.
This isn't the end of the story .......
Fenrir-Laguna barked.
'...... eh. You still do ......?
'I can make a few more of them! Come on, wolves!
Smaller wolves appear around him than before.
How about it? This is the power of one who follows the path of the brave.
It's light in color and not very strong to look at.
Shut up. I'm going to kill you and take your power. I'm still here for the same reasons. Let's go!
The wolves begin to move at the sound of Fenrir-Laguna's voice.
They're moving slow and their outlines are wobbly.
He himself is wobbling, too. So I don't notice.
The wolf pack that I summoned, and before I knew it...
There's a beautiful golden one mixed in.
''Guh-u-u-u-u-u-u!
The golden wolf shouted.
I kind of know what you mean. I guess I've lost my patience.
'Okay. Come on, Rita!
────?
bang
The golden wolf──Fenrir-Laguna, who was hit by Rita's rush that had been 'fully beastified', was blown away.
As it was, it slammed into the wall of the house and became motionless.
Fenrir-Laguna was knocked down!
Good job, Rita.
"...... wow
In her wolf form, Rita rubs the tip of her nose against me.
I had Rita 'fully beastified' and sent her out to scout. While in her wolf form, Rita's senses become sharper and her movement speed increases significantly. Thanks to this, I was able to completely grasp the enemy's movements.
''............ Hmph. Wow. Kuhn.''
Rita's beast ears are down, and her tail is standing up, twitching, embarrassed.
I'm patting my back like normal, but Rita isn't wearing anything right now. ......
'I'd like to do this some more, but I don't have time.
I would have liked to interrogate Fenrir-Laguna if I could.
But soon, Hydra will be here.
I have an idea on how to deal with that one.
I talked with Cecil and got assurances from the saintly lady that it would work.
At the very least, we should be able to get rid of them.
Cecil, Iris, Rafilia and Her Ladyship will go with me to fight off Hydra. Aine, erase this guy's memory ...... and get Rita's clothes out. Rita, I want you to guard Aine.
「「「「「 "Li Ka'i!" 」」」」」
This is the final stage of the mission.
We're going to run for the west wall.
Cecil will be the main villain in the fight against Hydra. How much magic do you have left?
I'll take care of it, Lady Nagi.
Cecil took his silver staff, the Sacred Staff Neuerut...
To be precise, he grabbed the 'Reconstructed' - 'True Holy Staff Noel Root'.
'I want to be able to protect Nagi-sama from any opponent. Hydra is just the right person to practice with. I will show you the power of Nagi-sama's slave, the 'Sea Dragon Hero' and 'Celestial Dragon's Representative', right here!
It's all stealthy.
'Yes! It is only Nagi who can show you everything about me!
And so we headed to exterminate Hydra.
It was only a matter of time before we experimented with the "True Holy Wand Noel Root" that we had rebuilt.
What do you think?The Viscountess Edengle-HeimlichFenrir-Laguna said.His messenger - a black wolf about twice as long as an adult - howled as if he wanted answers.To his employer, Edengle-Heimlich, cowering in front of the Adventurer's Guild.'I'm asking you what you're going to do. 'My employer.'I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask the baroness to come to the guard station.A guard with a shield and a spear stepped forward in front of Fenrir-Laguna.'I must now talk to you about the series of events. I will handle it respectfully and you need not worry.Get out of my way.miscellaneousellaneous collection of booksWith Fenrir-Laguna's voice, the wolf swung its paws.Its claws split the guard's shield in half.The guard's body was blown off by the impact. He hit the wall of the Adventurer's Guild and crumbled down.'I'm talking to my employer. What do you think, Edengle-Heimlich?"...... and pretend it never happened.Edengle-Heimlich said as he huddled.'I don't want to be here. I just want to get out of my way and leave.'Yes, sir.The black wolf that Fenrir-Laguna straddled barked.'Are you insane, Lady Edengle!The rest of the guards hold their spears.''The townspeople are watching, too. If you do this, it will hurt the name of the Viscount's family!''Edengle-Heimlich did not answer.Instead, it was the black wolf messenger who moved.With its claws, fangs, and limbs, it mowed down the guards.''Stop!Fenrir-Laguna!The leader of the 'Hounds of Dawn', a woman, shouted.''What's the point of doing this!Lady Edengle has already made a 'pact' with the adventurers!He accepted responsibility and promised to pay for it!What happens when that person disappears?Fenrir-Laguna sniffed, huffing and puffing.'...... what?''What happens when there are no more adventurers?What if the town is destroyed?The 'contract' means nothing to you!"You are ...... what are you talking about?The leader of the 'Hound of Dawn' drew his sword.A short sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left.With the two weapons in hand, he stood in front of the guards.''Whose fault is it that this happened in the first place!You were the one who suggested we wait at the inn.And he instructed me to seal the entrance to the saint's labyrinth with magic!And the one who slit the back of the wizard who hated it!And that's what it comes down to!'This is in keeping with our goal of monopolizing the treasure and heritage. If the town collapses, there will be no one left to go after the saint's legacy or to search for the dragon's relics. So we'd lose our base of operations for the search.At Fenrir-Laguna's words, everything in the place was speechless.'Then the only people who will be able to venture in this land will be those noblemen who can adequately prepare food and equipment. There will be no more hindrance to adventurers. There may still be an ancient legacy lying in this land. If the nobles can monopolize it, shouldn't they turn a blind eye to a little damage?Stupid things!The leader of The Hound of the Dawn slashes at Fenrir-Laguna.The leader's short sword is caught by the wolf's claws. She lets go of the sword and slashes at the wolf with her dagger.Don't make me use my extra magic.warriorThe leader of the Hounds of Dawn collapsed as a blue wolf suddenly appeared and slashed his back.''Don't summon two of them. This is not good for you!...... to ...... allies to ...... so far to ......?I'm sorry. You and I live in a different world. Besides, when this job is done, I'm going to take a slave. Not a man, not a demi-human, as a sign of bravery. Well, when I tell you, you won't understand.Fenrir-Laguna looked at Edengle, who was cowering.'So what do we do now? 'The Viscountess.'"...... get those guys. Or do you want me to turn them off?'Is this a saint or a substitute for a celestial dragon?'Both. Ever since they came out, everything's been wrong.The saint said, 'Keep the west wall open.' If that's the case, maybe she's headed that way. For the protection of the city.Fenrir-Laguna cleared his throat, clucking happily.'Turn those guys off!Eliminate my failure itself!I'll give you everything I inherit from the Viscountess!Edengle shuddered and shouted.'This isn't right. I've been educated to be worthy of a prince, to be chosen, to be a candidate, and here I am!I just want to get rid of anyone who gets in my way and start over!So!All right. Your daughter, the Viscountess.Fenrir-Laguna turned to the remaining 'Hound of Dawn' adventurers.''You're going to help me, 'The Hound of Dawn'.GUAAAAAAAA!The wolves howled in response to Fenrir-Laguna's voice.''Neither the Saintess nor the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon' wants to go out in the open. That means they should avoid the main street. So, beat those who are advancing down the alleyway from the outset!I'll get the axe in the end.Fenrir-Laguna looked at the adventurers of The Hound of Dawn with oddly gentle eyes.That's why Viscount Edengle said he's willing to put you in the regular army....... Exactly, but...Edengle nodded at Fenrir-Laguna's words.'You are all I have left. You can't work in this town either. You will always be with me. We have no choice but to trust each other.The 'Hounds of Dawn' start to move.They ran towards the western ramparts with a sideways glance at their cowering leader.''What the hell are you, ......?I don't know, it's ......."I shall follow the path of the brave. Viscountess.Fenrir-Laguna patted the two wolves with a curiously gentle face.He said, " Among those who are called from , those who are more selective will be able to walk this path. I'm sure you'll find a glory that you'll envy. That's the Path of the Brave. That's all there is to it.''You are the 'agents of the Heavenly Dragon'?!''...... You've really been chasing me: ......Seriously. I don't have time for this.The three adventurers standing in front of us are... The Hounds of the Dawn.The wizard was swallowed by Hydra, and the restorer was defeated in the Saint's Labyrinth and has yet to recover. So only the three vanguard members are left. Come to think of it, though, we don't have a leader woman.''I left the west side of the city walls open for you guys.I pulled my hood down and said, "I think your best option is to fight off the Hydra there."I think fighting off the Hydra there is the best option for you guys, don't you? Am I right?The 'Hounds of the Dawn' all raised their weapons at once. It doesn't look good.This is a narrow road that leads to the city wall. It's raining and the ground is muddy, so it's hard to move. Is it impossible to escape?An old house is around. No one lives here.It's just me and Cecil.Cecil is holding my hand, hiding his face with his hood, and he's holding my hand.I let Iris and Rafilia go first.

She also gave me her wand to help me pay back my demonic heritage. I'd like to repay the debt."............ All right. You're dead."Is that the conclusion of a 'brave man's path'?I wielded the magic sword.I can't reach it. Of course it's natural. You have to be as fancy as possible.Sprinkle water, make noise, hide the work we're doing behind...'It's useless!Go!'Things to chew up' and 'things to tear apart'!"GUAAAAAAAAAAA!The two wolves screamed.The red wolf rushes forward with its jaws and the black wolf with its claws growing huge.I recheck the plan behind me.Everyone is gathered around Raphilia. They're all in line and giving a thumbs up.They look ready."GUAAAAAAAAAAAA!The wolves come closer, kicking the water. Fenrir-Laguna is laughing.Then this one is timed to coincide with the timing, seh. "Activate "Anti-Magic Warding Taima Kekkai Lv 1" We got down on the ground in unison .And then...I'm sorry!A magical barrier wrapped around us and bounced off the wolves' rush.' What's that?'Yeah. I suppose it's no wonder the enemy is so surprised.That's the magic circle they put under our feet, it's glowing. That's where the barrier comes from.Specifically, it's me, Cecil, Aine, Iris, and Rafilia lying face down on a sheet with a magic circle on it. The barrier is a collection of five people's magical power.We knew the enemy was a wolf user, so we prepared it at home beforehand.I drew a magic circle on the sheets and put it in Aine's storage skills.This time, I 'fast rebuilt' three skills to kill Hydra and counter visitors.'Truth Confession LV1'A magician's spell to block out the lies."Creeping Defense, Lv 1The skill of getting down on the ground and defending yourself.Summoning Demons, Lv 5The skill of "calling" the "associated demon" with "body partsThis Anti-Demon Conjunction LV1 is a rewrite of Rock Lizard's Creeping Defense, with a twist.Fiendish Containment Lv 1 4 Concept Cheat SkillsThe skill to "lie face down" in the magic circle and "protect" yourself from "associated demons".This skill creates a barrier by 'laying down' on a magic circle with the demon's form written on it.The monsters or symbols written on the magic circle cannot break through the barrier.By the way, what is written on the magic circle is a 'Beware of the rabid dog' like symbol. I coached it and Rafilia wrote it. It's quite a masterpiece.I'll be d*mned!Gua!GUAAAA!!!!The area around the table. Member of the committee. Gentlemen!The wolf-shaped messenger is attacking repeatedly.But it doesn't get through.This is a 4 concept cheat skill.In addition, it's a target-only pinpoint skill, so it's terrifyingly hard.'What's the matter?The Way of the Brave....... goo.Fenrir-Laguna looked at us in frustration.'This, this can't be!I'm a brave man and this is what I am!I suggest you give up and go kill Hydra. I don't want to waste my time here.Shut up!Wolves, you can have all my magic!Break that d*mn barrier!''GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA!''A red, a blue and a black wolf howled.Three of them came straight to the barrier.The translucent barrier creaked and shook.I'm sure you'll be able to find it. It's amazing.You!You know how...?Yeah. I think we know what we need to know.This guy is backed by the White Guild. They want to collect the heritage of the Old Blood or destroy it. In order to do so, they don't hesitate to destroy towns and villages.The reward for this is "The Way of the Brave" - something for the brave to become like a nobleman, it seems.Thank you for teaching me so much. Then release "Delayed Combat Delayed Arts Lv 1".shareThe gigantic Magic Sword Reggie penetrated the barrier from within.''GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!''The black blade of the demon sword summed up the three wolves and split them into two.The wolves that were cut off from their bodies evaporated and disappeared.'Wha, what the hell is that?Fenrir-Laguna exclaimed.'...... I can see why your enemies are so angry, boy. It's a cheating machine. ......'...... I'm not so sure.I've made a good case to the saint, haven't I?He said this is a skill that only prevents attacks from the demons written on the magic circle.The attacks of other demons can pass normally, so of course they can pass from the inside as well.This isn't the end of the story .......Fenrir-Laguna barked.'...... eh. You still do ......?'I can make a few more of them!Come on, wolves!Smaller wolves appear around him than before.How about it? This is the power of one who follows the path of the brave.It's light in color and not very strong to look at.Shut up. I'm going to kill you and take your power. I'm still here for the same reasons. Let's go!The wolves begin to move at the sound of Fenrir-Laguna's voice.They're moving slow and their outlines are wobbly.He himself is wobbling, too. So I don't notice.The wolf pack that I summoned, and before I knew it...There's a beautiful golden one mixed in.''Guh-u-u-u-u-u-u!The golden wolf shouted.I kind of know what you mean. I guess I've lost my patience.'Okay. Come on, Rita!?bangThe golden wolfFenrir-Laguna, who was hit by Rita's rush that had been 'fully beastified', was blown away.As it was, it slammed into the wall of the house and became motionless.Fenrir-Laguna was knocked down!Good job, Rita."...... wowIn her wolf form, Rita rubs the tip of her nose against me.I had Rita 'fully beastified' and sent her out to scout. While in her wolf form, Rita's senses become sharper and her movement speed increases significantly. Thanks to this, I was able to completely grasp the enemy's movements.''............ Hmph. Wow. Kuhn.''Rita's beast ears are down, and her tail is standing up, twitching, embarrassed.I'm patting my back like normal, but Rita isn't wearing anything right now. ......'I'd like to do this some more, but I don't have time.I would have liked to interrogate Fenrir-Laguna if I could.But soon, Hydra will be here.I have an idea on how to deal with that one.I talked with Cecil and got assurances from the saintly lady that it would work.At the very least, we should be able to get rid of them.Cecil, Iris, Rafilia and Her Ladyship will go with me to fight off Hydra. Aine, erase this guy's memory ...... and get Rita's clothes out. Rita, I want you to guard Aine. "Li Ka'i!" This is the final stage of the mission.We're going to run for the west wall.Cecil will be the main villain in the fight against Hydra. How much magic do you have left?I'll take care of it, Lady Nagi.Cecil took his silver staff, the Sacred Staff Neuerut...To be precise, he grabbed the 'Reconstructed' - 'True Holy Staff Noel Root'.'I want to be able to protect Nagi-sama from any opponent. Hydra is just the right person to practice with. I will show you the power of Nagi-sama's slave, the 'Sea Dragon Hero' and 'Celestial Dragon's Representative', right here!It's all stealthy.'Yes!It is only Nagi who can show you everything about me!And so we headed to exterminate Hydra.It was only a matter of time before we experimented with the "True Holy Wand Noel Root" that we had rebuilt.
